BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to technical solution of grid data processing, and in particularly, to a method and apparatus for processing grid data according to information about insulator flashover.

It is a common phenomenon in a grid that tripping of switch occurs in a substation, and the time to re-close the switch after tripping is very short, usually in milliseconds, thus an external user usually will not sense the power failure, however, trip-up record is one kind of important grid data. Since tripping occurs frequently, the resultant trip-up records are usually of massive volume. For example, for a city-scale substation, trip-up records per day will be as many as several hundreds of thousands of pieces. Therefore, how to accurately analyze grid data having massive volume of trip-up records becomes a challenge in electric power field.

Typically, tripping events are recorded in grid data, especially in a SCADA system. There are many causes for tripping, such as overloaded line, aging facilities, flashover of insulator, etc., in which 70% of the tripping events are caused by insulator flashover. Many meaningful tripping failure records will be mixed among a vast number of tripping events caused by flashover, thus, efficient analysis could not be performed on tripping records, which, in turn, becomes a significant interference and seriously hinders analysis on grid data.

Currently, determining causes of tripping events is performed manually, for example, by manually checking other operation status recording system to see whether there is line overload at the time at which tripping occurs, or by manually collecting statistics about lines where tripping occurs frequently, and then checking whether there is aging facility, whether insulator flashover has occurred, etc. In electric power field, since the amount of data of trip-up records is very huge, and efficiency of existing manual checking is very low, there is an urgent need to provide an efficient technique for determining trip-up records caused by flashover.

Therefore, there is still room to improve existing grid data processing solution, and there is a need to efficiently determine trip-up records caused by insulator flashover from grid data records, thereby providing effective assistance to subsequently improve grid data analysis.

With reference to FIG. 2, a flowchart of a grid data record processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown, generally, grid data record is SCADA data record.

As shown, the method at least comprising: step 210, acquiring influence parameters of lag time of an insulator on which flashover is occurred, the lag time being a time interval from the insulator flashover to tripping of a corresponding breaker in a substation is caused; step 220, determining the lag time according to the acquired influence parameters of the lag time and a lag time evaluation model; and step 230, determining trip-up records caused by the insulator flashover from grid data records according to the lag time.

In step 210, influence parameters of lag time of an insulator on which flashover is occurred are acquired, the lag time being a time interval from the insulator flashover to tripping of a corresponding breaker in a substation is caused.

Next, the lag time and the influence parameters of the lag time will be described in connection with FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. FIG. 3A depicts a logical diagram of a substation and transmission lines, and FIG. 3B depicts a diagram of physical structure of the substation and transmission lines. In FIG. 3A, there is a plurality of breaker switches S (S1 . . . S6) in substation S, and the transmission lines L (L1 . . . Lb) connected with the substation are transmission paths leading to the substation, each of the transmission lines includes a plurality of poles on which a plurality of insulators are provided. Specifically, with respect to the physical structural diagram in FIG. 3, line 1 may be a 110 kv line inputted to the substation, line 1 is connected with switch 1 in the substation, and there is a plurality of poles (pole A, pole B, etc.) on line 1, each of the poles is provided with a plurality of insulators, and length of the line is the distance from the insulator on which flashover is occurred to the substation. There is also a 35 kV line 2 outputted from the substation, and likewise, line 2 also includes a plurality of poles, each of which also has a plurality of insulators.

When flashover occurs on an insulator, certain lag time is needed for the SCADA system to observe whether tripping of a corresponding breaker in the substation occurs, this is due to certain time interval is needed for the interference caused by variation in parameters such as voltage, current, and so on resulted from the flashover to be propagated to an adjacent substation and cause trip-up. Specifically, the process that there is a lag time between occurrence of the flashover and tripping in the substation can be known from FIG. 3 as follows: flashover occurs at an insulator on pole A, variation in current and voltage caused by the flashover is passed to switch 1 in the substation along a line having certain length, thereby causing tripping of switch 1, the lapsed time therebetween is referred to as lag time Δt.

The influence parameters of the lag time are various parameters that will influence the lag time, and specifically, may include one or more of the following: type of the flashover, time of the flashover, line length from an adjacent substation determined by physical location of the insulator, type of switch breaker, and status parameters of the insulator before the flashover.

Type of flashover is an important factor that will influence lag time, and variation in current and voltage caused by flashover with different phenomena will vary. In one embodiment, type of flashover may be divided as follows: 1) no apparent discharge; 2) purple spark, light purple silk-like discharge; 3) purple brush-like discharge; 4) orange segmental arc; 5) pulse frequency reduced, ⅓ leakage distance; 6) bright orange main arc, with intensive little arcs in groove; 7) strong discharge, throughout leakage distance; 8) red arc. Type of flashover may be subdivided or merged by a person skilled in the art based on the information of the present disclosure.

In one more specific embodiment, acquiring type of the insulator flashover comprises: acquiring an image of the flashover when the flashover occurs on the insulator, for example, an image upon occurrence of the insulator flashover can be gathered by an image sensor; and type of the flashover may be determined by performing image recognition on the acquired image. FIG. 4 depicts a specific embodiment of a method for determining type of flashover by manner of image recognition. The method as shown in FIG. 4 comprising: step 410, extracting texture feature of the image of the flashover; step 420, acquiring texture feature of a typical flashover type picture; and step 430, determining type of the flashover based on feature similarity between the texture feature of the image of the flashover and that of the typical flashover type picture of an insulator. Specifically, the similarity may be determined by using cosine distance. Image recognition technique is not what is improved in the invention and details of its implementation will be omitted herein. Image acquiring devices may be arranged in many manners, for example, they may be arranged at each pole, or an image acquiring device may be commonly used between adjacent poles to reduce hardware cost. The time at which the flashover occurs may also be determined according to time stamp of the acquired image.

The status parameter of an insulator is, for example, contamination status of the insulator, and specifically, may include salt density, ash density, and so on. In one embodiment, contamination status of an insulator may be determined through contamination profile of the insulator, which is data commonly provided in a grid, and contamination status of an insulator can be determined by querying contamination profile according to location of the insulator. In another embodiment, contamination status of an insulator can also be learned by analyzing the image obtained before the flashover.

Line length is the distance from an insulator to an adjacent substation, which is also a factor positively related with lag time. A certain pole on an individual transmission line can be located according to physical location (latitude and longitude) of an insulator on which flashover occurs, and in turn the line to which it belongs and corresponding substation can be determined, thereby length of the line from that insulator to the substation can be determined

A breaker in a substation is normally closed, and response time of different types of switches to interference will vary, therefore, type of switch is also a factor that will influence lag time. The type of switch includes, for example, vacuum breaker, compressed air breaker, oil breaker, and so on.

Next, step 220 in FIG. 2 will be described, wherein the lag time is determined according to the acquired influence parameters of the lag time and a lag time evaluation model.

The lag time evaluation model can be trained according to sample data. When a new flashover event occurs, the lag time may be calculated by inputting corresponding influence parameters of the lag time. In one embodiment, the step of determining the lag time evaluation model comprises: acquiring training data, each entry therein includes the influence parameters of the lag time of a historical flashover event and corresponding lag time; training the lag time evaluation model according to the training data through at least one of a decision tree model, an regression model and a Bayes model.

Next, in one specific embodiment, the process for establishing a lag time evaluation model will be described by taking regression model as an example. The specific training steps are as follows.

First, training samples are determined according to historical data. In one embodiment, each piece of sample data in the training sample includes four influence parameters of lag time and corresponding lag time. Specifically, the influence parameters of the lag time may include: type of flashover Yi, length of the line L between an insulator on which flashover occurs and a tripped switch in substation, type of the tripped switch A (for example, vacuum breaker, compressed air breaker, oil breaker, etc), and status parameter of an insulator B (for example, a value characterizing contamination status of the insulator, such as salt density, ash density, etc). Next, a process for determining lag time Δt between the time at which flashover occurs on an insulator and the time when tripping is recorded in the SCADA system in the sample data will be described. Generally, trip-up records caused by the insulator flashover are manually determined from the SCADA data records, each piece of record includes a tripping time t2, and further, a time difference between the flashover time t1 of the insulator and the abnormal record time t2 in the SCADA system is taken as the lag time Δt=t2−t1.

Establishment of a regression model is just to determine mathematical relationship Δt=f(L, Yi, A, B) between influence parameters of lag time and the lag time on basis of sample data. Since selection of the sample data possesses certain randomness, confidence verification needs to be conducted on the established model with the aid of other sample data, so as to derive a relationship model between variables having significant features. The confidence verification conducted in model establishment stage is theoretical verification having statistical sense. After the verified regression model is established, Δt can be calculated according to the established regression model for newly generated L, Yi, A, and B records. According to the Δt acquired from calculation, a portion of trip-up records in the SCADA system can be deleted, this portion of deleted SCADA records is considered as being caused by insulator flashover. To actually verify confidence level of the established regression model, result obtained through manual checking and that obtained through system's automatic checking needs to be compared, so as to obtain actual confidence level of the regression model. When the actually measured confidence level of the regression model meets a certain requirement, it proves that the established model has relative high accuracy, and can be used as a means to check the SCADA trip-up records; otherwise, the model needs to be re-established.

In another embodiment, the process for establishing a lag time evaluation model will be described by taking decision tree model as an example. The specific training steps are as follows.

First, training samples also need to be determined according to historical data, for details of which, please refer to the preparation of sample data employed by the regression model. Next, according to different feature variable (flashover type of an insulator, status parameter of an insulator, length of line, status parameter of a switch), information gain for that feature variable is calculated, the feature with large information gain of the feature variable is taken as a next level child node of the decision tree, and the decision tree is divided according to that feature variable. Further, training sets are located on different child nodes according to feature variables, and correspond to different sub-training sets. Then, the decision tree division step is performed iteratively, until the decision tree is grown to a predetermined decision depth (i.e. path length of the decision tree) threshold, that is, construct a relative complete decision tree. There are lag time for a plurality of sample data in each leaf node set of the decision tree, lag time feature of each leaf node set needs to be calculated according to lag time of these sample data. The calculation method includes but is not limited to clustering method (e.g., k-means method), weighted averaging method, and so on.

After establishment of the decision tree model, impurity degree of the finally obtained leaf node (number of records/total number of records which do not conform to clustering feature of the leaf nodes) is defined as theoretical confidence level of the decision tree model. When the theoretical confidence level of the decision tree model meets the requirement, this decision tree model can be taken as a model for predicting lag time; otherwise, the decision tree model needs to be re-established. Upon obtaining a decision tree model that meets the requirement, lag time Δt for a new record is predicted based on this model, and whereby a portion of trip-up records in the SCADA system is deleted, this portion of deleted SCADA records is considered as being caused by insulator flashover. To actually verify confidence level of the resultant decision tree model, result obtained through manual checking and that obtained through system's automatic checking needs to be compared, so as to obtain actual confidence level of the decision tree model.

Of course, as appreciated by a person skilled in the art, there may be more, less or different influence parameter variables of lag time than that described above in the evaluation model. For example, the evaluation model may only include some of the above listed variables. Furthermore, as appreciated by a person skilled in the art, in addition to the above discussed logistic regression model, decision tree model, other classification model such as Bayes model can also be employed to establish the method training evaluation model, and the details of which will be omitted here for brevity.

When using the lag time evaluation model determined from the regression model, for a new insulation flashover, according to the obtained influence parameters of the lag time for that flashover (such as, flashover type Yi, line length L; switch type A; and insulator status parameter B) and the evaluation model Δt=f(L, Yi, A, B), lag time Δt corresponding to this new insulator flashover event can be calculated.

When using the lag time evaluation model determined from the decision tree model, for a new insulator flashover, according to the obtained influence parameters of the lag time of that flashover and the decision tree evaluation model, the new flashover can be classified to a certain leaf node of the decision tree, and in turn, lag time Δt of this new insulator flashover event can be determined according to the lag time of that leaf node.

In step 230, trip-up records caused by the insulator flashover are determined from grid data records according to the lag time.

Generally, grid data record is original SCADA trip-up record. In one embodiment, SCADA trip-up records are filtered by lag time and flashover time. For example, a time window can be determined according to the lag time and the flashover time, and trip-up records caused by flashover can be determined from the grid data records according to this time window.

After step 230, in one embodiment, analysis may be performed on the determined trip-up records caused by flashover. In another embodiment, original data may be filtered by removing the trip-up records caused by flashover, in this manner, accident trip-up records in a grid not caused by flashover and have high confidence degree can be obtained, further, more meaningful analysis can be performed on the filtered data records. It is to be noted that, how to analyze grid data is not what is improved in the invention and details of which will be omitted herein.

The key to the present application lies in finding objective law of lag time and applying that objective law in grid data processing, which can provide significant assistance to substantially reduce interference by tripping events caused by flashover, or to specifically analyze tripping events caused by flashover.
